Sport is a global phenomenon engaging billions of people and generating annual revenues of more than US$145 billion. Problems in the governance of sports organisations, the ﬁxing of matches and the staging of major sporting events have spurred action on many fronts. Attempts to stop corruption in sport, however, are still at an early stage. The Global Corruption Report (GCR) on sport is the most comprehensive analysis of sports corruption to date. It consists of more than 60 contributions from leading experts in the ﬁelds of corruption and sport, from sports organisations, governments, multilateral institutions, sponsors, athletes, supporters, academia and the wider anti-corruption movement.

Transparency International UK’s Defence and Security Programme (TI-DSP) published the first ever Government Defence Anti- Corruption Index (GI)in January 2013, available at www.defenceindex.org. This made available an extensive and unprecedented analysis of corruption risk in the defence and security sector in 82 countries around the world.

Building on TI-DSP’s work with governments, defence companies, armed forces, civil society, and policy-makers, the Index provides original research by knowledgeable country assessors. It quantifies corruption risks in five key areas: political, financial, personnel, operations and procurement.

The GI analysis finds that 70 per cent of countries leave the door open to waste and threats to security as they lack the tools to prevent corruption in the defence and security sector.

Parliaments and legislatures play a key role in the battle to prevent this risk. They can do this by legislating for laws to prevent it, putting issues of corruption in defence at

The Defence and Security Programme of Transparency International UK has been working with governments, defence companies, armed forces, civil society and policy-makers to improve anticorruption standards in the defence sector since 2004. Our objective is to ensure that strong, effective mechanisms are in place in governments and companies to prevent corruption in defence, and to empower civil society to demand transparency and accountability in this sector.

Corruption in defence is a vital issue for many nations and for global security. It is dangerous, it is divisive, and it is wasteful.

The Government Anti-Corruption Index is an in-depth measurement of levels of corruption risk in 82 countries around the world. Countries are scored on 77 questions that examine integrity and anti-corruption mechanisms to combat corruption within the sector. These questions are based on Transparency International UK’s Defence and Security Programme’s (TI-DSP’s) typology of corruption risks in the sector and the existing body of knowledge covering the treatment of such risks.

The information used to compile the Index is based on an independent expert’s analysis of the set of questions, peer reviewed by independent analysts, and where possible, commented on by government reviewers and Transparency International national chapters.
